Stones doing a Beatles song...one time classic moment in history!!

@F Indeed, the Beatles wrote it, but the people make too big of a deal about that. The Stones amped up the tune with its ferocious, Elmore James-like slide and gave it an edge. John can diminish the track all he wants, but the Stones advanced it, and he never wanted to give them credit for that.
